From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> The call resource_size(res) returns res->end - res->start + 1 and thus the second change is semantics-preserving. res_size is then used as the second argument of a call to request_mem_region, and the memory allocated by this call appears to be the same as what is released in the two calls to release_mem_region. So the size argument for those calls should be resource_size(size) as well. Alternatively, in the second call to release_mem_region, the second argument could be res_size, as that variable has already been initialized at the point of this call. The problem was found using the following semantic patch: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @@ struct resource *res; @@ - (res->end - res->start) + 1 + resource_size(res) @@ struct resource *res; @@ - res->end - res->start + BAD(resource_size(res)) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/smsc911x.c | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff -u -p a/drivers/net/smsc911x.c b/drivers/net/smsc911x.c --- a/drivers/net/smsc911x.c 2009-06-24 21:18:49.000000000 +0200 +++ b/drivers/net/smsc911x.c 2009-07-04 21:38:00.000000000 +0200 @@ -1938,7 +1938,7 @@ static int __devexit smsc911x_drv_remove if (!res) res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_MEM, 0); - release_mem_region(res->start, res->end - res->start); + release_mem_region(res->start, resource_size(res)); iounmap(pdata->ioaddr); @@ -1976,7 +1976,7 @@ static int __devinit smsc911x_drv_probe( retval = -ENODEV; goto out_0; } - res_size = res->end - res->start + 1; + res_size = resource_size(res); irq_res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_IRQ, 0); if (!irq_res) { @@ -2104,7 +2104,7 @@ out_unmap_io_3: out_free_netdev_2: free_netdev(dev); out_release_io_1: - release_mem_region(res->start, res->end - res->start); + release_mem_region(res->start, resource_size(res)); out_0: return retval; } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
